In 1896, a Congregationalist Preacher named Charles Sheldon wrote a novel entitled: In His Steps. it was inspired by a series of sermons that he preached to his congregation in Topeka, KS. It sounds like a good step until you read that Mr. Sheldon believed Jesus was more of a moral figure than a savior; a person to be imitated more than trusted. He subtitled his book, “What would Jesus do?” The question has become a Christian gimmick of sorts. What would Jesus do? He did what we could never do. That’s why we call Him the Savior.
